By Olorunfemi Adejuyigbe
Fusion 774, a political support and socio-economic advocacy group has expressed concern on the current state of the country as it prepares for the forthcoming election in 2023. Their major concern was on the economy and Insecurity plaguing the country.
According to the national Cordinator of Fussion 774, Comrade Sadiq Jikta, “these strong national concerns have become issue for discussion at every forum. It is agreed that, we the citizen and our leaders have failed to leave up to our responsibilities as citizens and if we don’t act fast to make things right, achieving the country of our dream may be a mirage”.
Jikta revealed that the upcoming 2023 general election is going to be an opportunity for Nigeria to elect leaders that have the capacity to deliver in terms of addressing the economic and security situation of the country. Our participation to make things right is going to be the choice decision we are going to make, while electing the right leadership.
“We the Nigerian citizens deserve quality governance and we are responsible for it. The lack of consistency in governance has been a major setback for us as a country. We must ensure consistency in governance while encouraging sustainable policy initiatives and ensuring people friendly programmes.”
Furthermore, he stated that it is time to take advantage of our vast population, and invest in our people.
“Nigeria has a poor human development index; human resource development plays a vital role in the prosperity of every nation, we stand to achieve a quantum leap, if we invest in our human resources, thereby, addressing the lack of employment facing the youth today. Unemployment is one of our most pressing problems.
Let’s vote for those that understands this as an issue of national emergency.
When we are voting for leaders in the next election let’s look at those with the trait of building people, those that has the track record in investing in people, this is the future we are looking at, we have to get it right this time, we must come out and vote in numbers. We have to get our PVC today, now. Our PVC is our tool for working out good governance.
We find it as a duty to condemn the spate of insecurity in the country, the recent killing of military officers in Niger State is of great concern to us, just as the once happening in States like Zamfara, Katsina, Plateau, South East and elsewhere in Nigeria.
We condemn all acts of criminality in the country. We stand to condemn the recent jail break by ISWAP terrorist group leading to the release of suspected dangerous elements into our society thus further heightening the insecurity precipitation. We urge the government to live up to their responsibility and double their effort to stem the tide.
In this political transition period, political parties that want our votes should convince us with their roadmap, manifestoes and issue based discussions, not trivialities.
I will use this opportunity to urge the PDP as a party to base their campaign on issues that affect the life of Nigerians, not attack on persons, like the recent take on the Nigeria Ambassador to Benin Republic Amb. Tukur Yusufu Buratai (Lt. Gen. Rtd.), dwelling on issues that has been duly addressed by ICPC.
We at Fusion774 are using this opportunity to state our unalloyed position on supporting credible candidates with track record of good team selection, completed project, people oriented programmes, human capital building and enduring legacy.
Lastly, we wish our Muslim brethren a special Eid-Kabir celebration, we pray God to make it hitch free, we also call on people of all faith to pray for the peace of the country at this trying time.”
